People are showing support to survivors.
A Westmeath domestic violence support service says no gesture is too small on 'Go Purple Day'.
People across the midlands are sporting purple accessories, decorations and even changing lightbulbs in honour of an annual campaign.
Today on 'Go Purple Day' people are showing support to survivors and raising awareness of domestic violence.
Landmarks in the region are being lit up to mark the occasion such as Athlone bridge.
Deirdre Berry Manager of Esker House, Women’s Refuge and Domestic Abuse Support Service in Athlone says the initiative resonates with people:
